Best Gems is a treasure hunt you can finish in a short sitting. You gather big, chunky gems that match your color cards, then trade sets up for sparkling diamonds that count for more.

  • Match gems to the 60 color cards to collect the right treasures
  • Trade in your gems for diamonds, each worth 5 points
  • Includes 40 Giant Gems, 10 diamonds and a velvet gem bag
  • Builds color recognition, counting and matching for ages 5 and up
  • Short enough for home or the classroom, for 2 to 4 players

How it plays at home

Draw from the color cards, grab the gems that fit and decide when to cash in for diamonds. Counting the points is part of the game, so younger players practice adding without it feeling like a worksheet.

The velvet bag makes the gems feel special and keeps them in one place. Tip: let the youngest player act as banker and hand out the diamonds, which gives them an important job and extra counting.
